Born in Schaffhausen, Switzerland, Christina Della Giustina lives and works since 2000 in Amsterdam. Christina Della Giustina studied Philosophy, Art History, and Linguistics at the University of Zürich, and completed her postgraduate studies in Fine Art and Political Theory at the Jan van Eyck Academy in Maastricht.

Next to her artistic practice Christina Della Giustina is since 2000 teacher for digital media in the Faculty of Visual Arts and Design at the HKU in Utrecht.

Since 1999, Christina Della Giustina works in diverse ways with real-time data, rendering dynamics particular to specific environments and as complex as that of water, weather, underwater sounds, sounds within trees etc., publicly accessible and perceivable. In many ways the work focuses on an ongoing research on diverse languages as a set of tubes between the gaze, hearing and touch.
Using divers digital media in combination with writing, the potential of these works lies in the direct communication with the actual surroundings they are conceived for and intrinsically correspond with. Without adding anything to the actual environment, these series of works allow fluctuations, dynamics and rhythms inherent to the site to reveal themselves. In generating ‘ways of saying' for the environment these works disclose and address the power and intimacy of our presence.
